I Application filed. November 7, 1918. Serial 110. 281,478.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ROBERT PERLICK," acitizen of the United States, and residentof Milwaukee, in the county ofMilwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Reservoirs for Oil-Stoves; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is .a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to new and improvements in reservoirs adapted foruse on oil stoves and of that type including a main bottle shaped supplyreceptacle, de-

tachably mounted in inverted position over an auxiliary constant levelreceptacle, the fluid level of which is determined by the bottom planeof the discharge neclr of the main receptacle,.which projects theremto.

It is in general the object of my invention to simplify and otherwiseimprove the con struction of devices of this character.

A further object resides in the provision of an arrangement whereby themain receptacle may be most readily mountedupon or removed from theauxiliary receptacle for replenishing the contents of said mainreceptacle, and an incidental object in this connection is to utilizethe carrying members of the main receptacle as a supporting means forthe same.

A still further object is to provide an arrangement for supporting themain receptacle which insures aproper relative position thereof withrespect to the auxiliary receptacle whereby to insure the maintenance ofa proper fluid level in the auxiliary receptacle, and whereby at thesame time the receptacles are held in spaced relation to preventcapillary distribution or oil from the auxiliary receptacle over thesurface of the main receptacle.

With the above and other objects and advantages in view, which will beapparent as the description proceeds, my invention resides in the novelfeatures of construction,

combination and arrangement of hereinafter more particularly describedand defined bythe appended claims. V

In the accompanying drawings: I

Figure 1 is an elevational view of one end portion of an oil stovehaving my improved reservoir associated therewith.

Fig. 2 is'an elevational view of my improved receptacle, the lowerreservoir and connecting portions. thereof'being in section. Fig. 3 1s aplan view of the lower recep parts, as

tacle, showing the supporting means for the ma n receptacle associatedtherewith, the main receptacle being omitted for the sake of clarity.

.Referring now'more particularly to the accompanying drawings, 5designates one end portion of the frame of a conventional oil stove,in'which is mounted a burner f any suitable type requiring a constant suply level of .oil fed thereto by the pipe The supply pipe 7 is upwardlydirected and communicates with the, bottom of a panshaped auxillaryreceptacle 8, which is supported by said pipe and by bracket arms9 proecting outwardly from the stove frame and secured thereto.

The main receptacle 10 of the reservoir is formedof lass, as .is usual,and is of a sim le bott e shape, having a filling and disc. arge neck 11on which is threaded the usual narrow valve cap 12 having projectingtherefrom a stem 12 engaging with the bottomof the auxiliary receptacleto gopen the valve when the main receptacle is supported 1n properinverted position thereover.

To procure thls support of the main receptacle and at the same time toprovide for a most ready manipulation of the receptacle, theintermediate portion thereof is provided with an annular channel 13formed in the present instance by offsetting the periphery of thereceptacle inwardly, and a metallicv band 14 is secured in' thischannel.Bail ears 15, carrying a bail 16, have their oflset end portlons securedto the band, preferably by spot welding as the most economical Bowedhandle strips means of attachment. 17 also have theirend portionspreferably spot Welded to the band at points spaced qu-adrantially withrespect to the bail ears..

The main receptacle may bev thus readily manipulated for mounting it onor removing it from the auxiliary receptacle, and may be convenientlycarried. At the same time, the shoulders formed by offsetting the bailears, and the sides of the handles are utilized to supportthe receptaclein operative position. 7' A plurality of upstanding arms 18 have theirlower ends inwardly offset and secured to the outer periphery of theauxiliary receptacle 8, and the upper ends of the arms are connected bya supportin ring 19, said -arms being preferably wel against the outerperiphery of the supportlng ring. 'llhis ring is of such diameter aatpsnugly receive the main receptacle and seats the handle and hail earshoulders, the bail being preferably of such dimensions that in thisseated position it may drop around and lie under the auxiliaryreceptacle.

The top of the receptacle is preferably shielded and held by thedownturned perimetral flange of a swinging shelf 20 carried by theadjacent end of the stove top.

.An exceedingly simple arrangement has thus been provided forSllpPOItlIlg the upper reservoir receptacle over the lower receptacle,in such manner that the proper relative positions of said receptacles isat all times maintained. It is noted that the auxiliary receptacle is oflesser diameter than the main receptacle and lies, snugly under theexceedingly wide neck shoulder of the main receptacle, whereby it isprotected particularly against access of foreign matter, and but a veryslight space is afforded between the mouth of the auxiliary receptacleand the neck flange of the main receptacle, which serves to admit air tothe auxiliary receptaclepreventing the occurrence of a retarding vacuumtherein. This spacing of the receptacles also prevents dis-- tributionof oil by capillary attraction from the auxiliary receptacle-over thesurface of the main receptacle.

What is claimed is: l

1. A reservoir of the class described including a. main support, anauxiliary receptacle carried thereby, arms extending upwardly from saidauxiliary receptacle, an annular seating band carried by said arms,

a main receptacle insertible in said seating band, and support memberscarried by the intermediate portion of the periphery of the mainreceptacle to seat on said hand.

2. A reservoir of the class described including a main support, anauxiliary receptacle carried there y, arms extending upwardly from saidauxiliary receptacle, an annular seating band carried by said arms, amain receptacle insertible in said seating band, support members carriedby the inter mediate portion of the periphery of the main receptacle toseat on said band, and a bail pivotally connected with the intermediateportion of the periphery of the main receptacle and adapted to lie aboutthe auxiliary receptacle. i

3. A reservoir of the class described including a main support, anauxiliary receptacle carried thereby, arms extendlng upwardly from saidauxiliary receptacle, a seating band carried by said arms, a mainreceptacle insertible in said seating band, a carrying band securedabout the intermediate portion of the periphery of the main receptacle,bail ears secured to diametrically opposed portions of the carryingband, a bail carried by said ears, and handles secured to portions ofthe carrying band spaced from the ears, said ears and handles beingadapted to engage on the seating band.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand atMilwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin.

ROBERT PERLICK.
